[October 8, 2025] MEET MOCHA!
Like a good cup of coffee, Mocha is a blend of different flavors and variety of quirks that make her truly special.
Mocha is a large, two-year-old mixed-breed female.

As a hound and shepherd mix, Mocha’s nose likes to lead the way. Mocha also loves sharing special hugs with people and can get a little excited at times.

[September 16, 2025] MEET JAKE!
Meet Jake, this week’s Pet of the Week and featured Fluff Piece.
Jake is a one-year-old, very lovable, very handsome brown and black male cat.
Jake is very friendly, and not shy. He is the first to come to the door when you walk past, the first to say hello in the morning and the first to sit at your side on the couch.
Jake loves affection, especially being rubbed under his chin or on his back. He loves being with people.
Jake needs to find a home where he is the only cat. He has feline leukemia (FeLV).
FeLV is a disease that is easily transmitted from cat to cat through saliva (like grooming each other or sharing a water dish).
The staff at the Animal Welfare Society, including the veterinarians who diagnosed Jake, are happy to share everything they know about FeLV and how it affects him, specifically.
FeLV is contagious amongst cats, but it cannot spread my disease to dogs or humans.
Jake should be an indoor cat only. Jake is not in any pain, and his quality of life is that of any other cat. While having FeLV isn’t great, cats like Jake can and do live long, healthy, happy lives with attentive people and regular vet visits.
So, there you have it! Jake the great in a nutshell! If you want to have snuggles, cuddles and love in your life and you don’t have any feline friends at home, maybe Jake is the friend for you!
